A birth certificate obtained by TMZ confirmed that 40-year-old singer Lady Gaga and her fiancé, tech entrepreneur Michael Polansky, welcomed their first child on 9 June 2026. The baby girl, named Rose Bean Polansky, was born at 23:19 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. The records identify the delivery doctor as Dr. Robert Katz, an obstetrician known for attending high-profile births, including the delivery of Ciara and Russell Wilson's daughter Sienna. TMZ reported that the child was born through a surrogate, though neither parent has issued a public statement clarifying the reasons behind the arrangement. The couple kept the birth private for three months before news of their parenthood first surfaced on 10 September.

Musical tribute in the names
The couple chose names that reference key artistic moments from Gaga's musical catalog. The first name, Rose, connects directly to Edith Piaf's classic song "La Vie en rose", which Gaga performed in the 2018 film "A Star Is Born" alongside Bradley Cooper. Gaga has a large rose tattoo running down her spine framed by the song title in cursive script. The middle name, Bean, serves as an homage to the late singer and activist Carl Bean. Bean recorded the 1977 disco track "I Was Born This Way", which directly inspired Gaga's Billboard Hot 100 chart-topping anthem "Born This Way".
Relationship timeline and wedding plans
Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Germanotta, began dating Polansky in late 2019. The pair were first photographed kissing at a 2020 New Year's Eve gathering in Las Vegas and later confirmed their relationship publicly around Super Bowl LIV in Miami. They formalized their engagement in 2024 during the Paris Olympic Games. While recent media reports suggested a secret wedding ceremony had taken place, sources familiar with the matter told TMZ that no marriage has occurred yet. In March, Gaga stated that the couple intended to hold their wedding ceremony soon, though no official date has been confirmed.
Touring schedule and reflections on motherhood
The birth followed the conclusion of Gaga's worldwide Mayhem Ball tour in April, which supported her sixth studio album, "Mayhem". According to Billboard Boxscore data, the five-continent trek generated $419.5 million in gross ticket receipts and sold just under 2 million tickets, ranking among the ten highest-grossing concert tours by a female artist. Gaga also appeared as herself in "The Devil Wears Prada 2" earlier this year, recording three original songs for the production. The singer has frequently discussed her desire to start a family, stating in November 2025 that becoming a mother stood as her highest personal priority. During an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Gaga described the transition to parenthood with a theatrical metaphor.

Following the birth, the couple retreated to Northern California to spend time with their daughter away from public attention, where photographers captured them walking with the newborn in recent days.
